The Last of Us introduced a new apparent villain in episode 4 in the form of Kathleen (Melanie Lynskey), a revolutionary leader based in Missouri's Kansas City (i.e. the place where Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) are currently trapped).
Kathleen will return in episode 5, and according to the teaser above, it looks like the stakes are quickly ramping up, with the very real human threat only being added to by the lurching presence of what appears to be a new type of Infected.
The good news? Episode 5 is streaming early, so we won't have to wait too long.
The Last of Us episode 5 premieres Friday at 9 p.m. on HBO Max.
